Rustic Wood Burned Wedding Picture Frame

Wedding season is upon us once again. I started wood burning picture frames, at the end of last year. I did one for Halloween, this lovely wedding keepsake frame, and one for Easter. I love woodburning, though it is still quite new to me. This would make a lovely wedding gift for anyone getting married, or even as an anniversary gift. For full details, check it out in my Etsy store.


 I finally got the right white yarn, to finish my newest idea. I can't tell you what it is, you will have to wait and see. I ordered some new ring settings, and they should be here any day now. So, new jewelry items, yay! I would really love to do some new resin pieces, but until the ones I already have in inventory start to sell, that just doesn't make sense. I did not get to paint at all last week, or do anything crafty, really. But, that all changes today. I should have lots of free time to be crafty. My garden needs work too.

Some New Items For Valentine's Day!!

I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year. We did! We went out to a party, for the first time in years. My daughter went with us, and my son had a different party he went to. It was a warm, and beautiful night. Now, it is time to get ready for Valentine's Day! Below you will see three items, I just recently created for Valentine's Day. Please note, the first two pieces, were created from my own original art work, and are available on Society6 in my new art store. They are available on all kinds of different cool items, not just the blanket, and mug shown below. These make sweet gifts for the sweetie on your list. I still have tons of art work to upload there, plus I paint new items every week. Be sure to check out my new seahorse, love it!

 The third item is a crocheted heart. It is just about 7 inches long, and I would use it as table decor for a Valentine's Day wedding, party, or shower. But, it can also be used as a pot holder, or hot pad. These are made to order, and can be done in other colors, unless you only want the one that is already made. They do not take long to make at all. Click the highlighted items, to visit my Etsy store, and my Society6 art shop. Remember, you can always ask me questions about custom orders, and designs. I have some heart jewelry items that I hope to be working on this weekend.


You can always find me by searching Missy69 on Society6, or Missy69 on Etsy.  A very easy way to find me, and my items.

Graduation Money Jar and Zentangled Wine Bottle Solar Garden Light

I am behind on sharing my Zentangle challenge pieces. If you don't know what Zentangle is, it is basically a fancy word for doodling. I joined an Ancient Art Zentangle group on Facebook, and each week a new set of patterns to use are posted and you design your own art piece. The first one is a bear. It is painted on a recycled, now upcycled into a solar garden light. After painting on the design my pieces are sealed twice and set in the sun to seal more. Then I took a solar garden stake, from the Dollar Tree, inserted into the jar, so the solar part is sticking out and then put it in the garden. I now have five solar garden lights completed. I think I have five more wine bottles left. They are all different designs, and you can see them in this blog. I think I am going to list them in my Etsy store as made to order only.

 The second piece, is a recycled, now upcycled glass pickle jar. First I sealed the bare jar. This was an experiment to see if it helps the paint go on smoother with less streaking, and yes it works quite well. I still added three layers of purple paint as the base coats. Then I used an owl stencil, won't do that again, and tangled the owl. At first I was very disappointed, but I outlined the eyes and beak a bit better, and that satisfied me. Then on the other side, I painted the saying You're A Smartie, tangled the words, and class of 2014 at the very bottom. Last but not least, I added some tangled borders on the sides, and top. The lid was painted purple and a smartie candy super glued to it. I filled it with Smartie candies for the party, and she can reuse it for anything she wants. A money jar at her graduation party this weekend, would be awesome I think. Jars can be used to store so many different things. Again, I think I am going to list these as made to order for birthdays, graduations and weddings. I am sure Baby and Wedding showers would be awesome too.

 I am caught up now, on the Zentangle posts. Now to get the rest of them done, lol. I am working on a super cute infant baby boy cocoon, so be sure to watch for that in the near future. I will also be having some new, and unique resin pieces to share.
